CULINARY VESSEL. l

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,394, dated July 31, 1883,

Application filed May 39, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom, it may Ycon/c6172:

Be it known that I, JOHN A. STABEL, a citizen of the United States, residing in Buffalo, in the county of Erie an d State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Inirprovenients in Culinary Vessels, of-which the following is a specication.

My invention relatestoa certain means for carrying off the vapors and odors as they arise Io during the process of boiling, and thereby prevent them from coming into the room, as will be fully and clearly hereinafter shown `by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a vertical central section through a boiler and throughthe tube and its parts for carrying off the vapor. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section through a flat-ilottoined boiler, showing my invention connected thereto. Fig.

2o 3 is an enlarged top view of a boiler-pit made according to my invention, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a boilerpit. y

The object of my invention is to provide the means for carrying off the vapor and vapor- 2 5 izing the condensation, so as to prevent the water of condensation fromidripping down onto the stove, and also to prevent the melting of the solder, as will be more clearly hereinafter shown. l

3o The boiler d may be of any ordinary construction, and is provided with a vapor-tube, a2. The pit ai' is provided with an inwardly and 4upwardly projecting portion, a?, on one side, so as to form aV continuation of the iiue 3 5 a2. On the upper portion of `the part ci' is a continuous groove or gutter, c c', arranged so as to be within the tube a2. In practice it is found that a portion of the vapor condensesV on the sides of the vapor-tube, and, running 4o down, drips on the stove lunder the boiler. The obj ect of this part of Lniy invention is to prevent this objection. The water drips into the groove or gutter and runs around and down to its lower part,next to the outsi de ofthe tube, where the water'in the boiler does not reach either side of it, and where the heat reaches more readily and vaporizes it, and it is then drawn down into the stove. Another objection with the old method of construction is that when the water gets below the seam a* the heat often melts the solder above it around the bottom of the vapor-tube. My invention prevents this as Vlong as there is any water inthe boiler, because a portion of vapor condenses,

`noise caused by the water running onto the stove is prevented.` The groove or gutter c c surrounds the opening e.

I claim as my inventionl. A culinary vessel provided with a vaportube extending down one side of the same, in combination with a bottom providedwith an upwardly and inwardly projecting portion, a3, adapted to fit the tube7 and having a groove or gutter, c c, extending downward and around the opening c, for the purposes described. r

2. A bottom for culinary vessels, consisting of the part c, the upwardly andinwardly projecting portion ai, having a groove or gutter, c c', extending around the opening c, as and for the purposes specified.
